The Second Coming of Steampunk

[David Morris]

Right, but as the blurb defined Steampunk:

"Originally a literary movement that mashed cyberpunk-style themes
with speculative rewritings of Victorian culture"

And since I think of Gibson as the originator of Cyber-punk, and
_Difference Engine_ as the original Steampunk, I credit Steampunk
mainly to Gibson.  But since I know nothing by Sterling, I'm probably
doing him an injustice.
